Blame it on GW!

I have NEVER seen a first cut so early up here. Forty years ago they began cutting ~ June 20 - 22


thanks RR for the memories. I think this summer will the first ever in my life since I can remember that we will not be putting up hay.
As kids we stacked bales all summer, then we had milk cows and horses, and after our animals were gone we bailed the last 5 years for our kids. Now they are getting their own from a neighbor. People think I'm nuts when I say I will miss it.....

A couple more from the race. BTW, it was called "Insanity Run". You had to sign a waiver that said you understood there was a risk of death....yikes...... One of the obstacles was a slide made out of plastic paper that came down the side of the mountain and you land in ice water.... My daughters friend had a burn on her thigh from this obstacle......


great action shots Sher
looks like they really are enjoying their day.

it's a giant wooden butterfly in front of the pioneer museum in Colorado Springs, Colorado. I have more of them on my website below. Pretty cool

I was going to ask you the same question :roll:

That whole are has been renovated but the church there, the building as such, has never been changed. That used to be the center of town there.

Here is anecdote....Back in the 1600's there were no taxes because the pioneers had no money and the worst crime was theft at night because there were no lights. Right in front of this church, Place Royale, was where everything was taken care of, such as hangings. The court would rule a person guilty, and the person would be hung up there in front of the towns people. If the crime was really bad, the person's head was cut off and put on a pole on the outside of that Place just to show people what would happen to them if they committed a similar crime. They did have a sort of jail, but the town did not feed the prisoners and I know of one case of adultery where the guy was imprisoned and his wife was responsable to feed him. The prisoners were let ou during the winter months because the jails were not heated and they would die in there.

These are documented as I studied the history and also did genealogy for ten years and used the National Archive as a source for information.
I was going to ask you the same question :roll: ... (show quote)


and did they call those the good old days?

You are such a wealth of good info--thanks

Since I still can't get out yet to shoot had to do it in back yard. My darling daughters took care of it while I was away. They made some nice changes with new plantings. Later I will, hopefully, be able to show you.
I loved all your nice comments and funny ones too! I don't remember who said it but Madonna it is. :lol: :lol:


good to see your smiling face
